"It's the Tile Spur Department, the Tile Thorn Cavalry is coming!"

The Tatar cavalry escorting the "Nine White Dagong" mission had already discovered at this moment that the other party was not the Ming soldiers and horses who came to dock, but the cavalry of the Tile Spur Department who were preparing to rob and kill the mission.

So all kinds of warning cries sounded one after another, and the bleak north wind was full of the meaning of slaughter.

The main general who led the cavalry of the Waspur Department was the younger brother of the Taishi Waspur, Boyan Timur. When he learned that the dignified Mongolian Dai Zong Khan was not spoiled, in order to obtain the quota of mutual trade and tribute from the Ming State, he actually bowed down to the Han Dynasty, he was simply furious.

Any Mongolian tribe can crawl at the feet of the Ming Emperor alone, including the Taishi of the Tile Spur Department, but the Tatar Department is not able to spend!

His status as the Great Khan of Mongolia symbolizes the honor of the golden family's bloodline and the pride of the immortal descendants.

Kneeling, trying to stand up again is far away!

In addition, it is to take off and not spend the crown prince Meng Ke, who has just been established, to be escorted to the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom to become a proton.

There is no doubt that his trick of killing people with a knife is simply on the surface. Mengke Taishi also usurped the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia first, and truly controlled the entire Mongolian tribes, one of the most important bargaining chips.

If he falls into the hands of the Han Chinese, it means that the Ming State controls the legal system inherited by the Mongol Great Khan, and once he encounters any accidents, he can push Meng Ke out to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

This trick was originally intended to be used by the Taishi himself, how could he make a wedding dress for the Ming Dynasty?

"The descendants of the Immortal Heaven will never kneel down to the barbarians!"

"Kill all these cowards and take back the crown prince!"

"The steppe will always belong to the Mongols!"

With a roar of rage, the blood of the Tile Thorn cavalry who felt the humiliation was in their blood, and the charging formation was like a bamboo, like a sharp knife into the Tatar cavalry camp.

The sudden attack made the Tatar guards and horses not ready to deal with it, and at this time, Meng Ke burst out and shouted: "Tatars, are you willing to become slaves of the Han people, and are you willing to make Mongolia a vassal of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

"This kind of humiliating Jiubai Dagong, I will never accept it, I would rather die than this proton!"

"The eagles on the steppe are soaring in the sky, and the Central Plains of the Ming Kingdom will always be the pastures of Mongolia, let us take up arms and unite with the outside world, instead of killing each other here!"

For the Tatar soldiers at the bottom, they didn't know about the power struggle at the top, and they didn't know that the seemingly wise and martial Taishi Yexian was actually ready to get rid of the Mongol Great Khan without sharpening his sword.

What they can see is that the Great Khan they respect, who obviously had the advantage of killing the Ming State in the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, suddenly chose to bow down to the Ming Emperor in peace, and gave up the pride and dignity of being the Great Khan of Mongolia.

Maybe in normal times, even if there is dissatisfaction and grievance in his heart, he can only obey the order of detachment. But now there are Tatar troops outside, and there are crown princes calling for giving up resistance, and the Tatar cavalry, who have no fighting spirit, resist and instantly disintegrate.

Only the Mongol envoy Temur and the cavalry commander Mandu Latu still did not put down their swords.

"The Tile Thorn is ready to move on us, and the news must be conveyed to the Great Khan!"

Temur was well aware of the current crisis in the Tatar tribe, and the Waspur tribe, which had undergone a break after the battle of Liaodong, had gradually regained its former strength, and it was absolutely impossible to sit idly by and watch the other Mongol tribes grow.

The killing of the Tatar mission now is equivalent to a signal of public tearing of the skin.

"It's hundreds of miles back to Khanting, and we can't run away from the vast snow!"

The Thousand Commanders Mandu Ratu was a member of the Cowardly Xue Army, they were the most loyal guards and pro-army of the Mongol Great Khan, and it was absolutely impossible to believe the nonsense of the Tile Thorn Tribe.

"It's not far from the Datong border, so you can only continue to Mingguo."

"Take the crown prince to break through!"

To be able to serve as an envoy, it is naturally a prerequisite to have a good brain, and Temur immediately thought of a way to deal with it, and the defense line of the Ming border fort can block the pursuit of the tile spur cavalry.

"Okay, let's go to Datong!"

Mandu Ratu immediately made a decision and called on his cronies, who also belonged to the cowardly Xue army, to rush towards the crown prince Mengke.

It doesn't matter what kind of tribute is auspicious, as long as the crown prince Meng Ke does not fall into the hands of Yexian, he will not find a reason to make the Mongolian tribes submit, and go to be the "regent" in a grand manner!

Seeing Temur and Mandu Ratu, he was still loyal to the Great Khan and did not want to lay down his arms and submit to him, but instead took himself to the military town of Datong in the Ming Kingdom.

Meng Ke did not hesitate to pull out the saber at his waist, pointed at Mandu Ratu and shouted: "I am the crown prince of Mongolia, and I will never be the proton of the Ming Kingdom, are you going to plot a traitor?" ”

At this moment, Meng Ke has already made up his mind that even if he takes refuge in his uncle first, he will not return to the Tatar Department, and in the face of that coward-like father Khan, he will not go to the Ming Kingdom to be a hostage.

"Prince, this is the order of the Great Khan!"

Mandu Latu's face was full of anxiety, the Tile Thorn cavalry was already close at hand, and if Meng Ke didn't follow him and others to break through, he would never be able to leave.

"Only a warrior is worthy of becoming the Great Khan of the Mongols!"

Hearing Meng Ke's mouth say this, Mandu Ratu's face changed instantly, this is the real disobedient criminal.

But after all, the other party is the crown prince, Mandu Latu didn't have the courage to make a heavy hand, seeing that the tile spur cavalry was about to complete the encirclement, the envoy Temur shouted: "Time can't wait, let's break through the siege and go to the Ming Kingdom first!" ”

The greatest strategic goal of the Tatars to bow down to the Ming was not to kill people with the sword, but to reach an alliance against the annexation of the Tile Division. Regardless of the existence of the proton of Mengke, it is necessary to reach an "alliance" with Daming as soon as possible, so as to obtain a powerful helper and reinforcements.

"Yes, Ambassador!"

Mandu Latu also understands that in this case, it is almost impossible to quickly take down Mengke without blood. So he ordered his cronies, together with Temur and several other Tatar envoys, to gallop in the direction of the Datong military town.

As long as the banner of the Ming army can be seen, then the tile spur pursuers can only give up the pursuit. Perhaps Mandu Rathu never dreamed that one day he would need to rely on the enemy for protection.

In the snow, two teams of men and horses galloped, and there was a fiery red flag on the periphery of Datong Military Town. After the war, Guo Deng succeeded Liu An of Guangning Hou as the new chief soldier of Datong, and added the position of the right governor of the Chinese military capital office, officially stepping into the ranks of first-class martial arts.

Since the rise of the Washorn tribe, the number of Mongol tributary missions has increased day by day, reaching two or three thousand at every turn.

In order to ensure that the tributary missions were safe and secure, and at the same time, in order to demonstrate the prestige of the Ming army, the escorted Ming army team also became more and more large. Before the Tumubao Incident, thousands of border troops were needed to dock with the Mongolian mission, and the leader was even at the level of a general.

This time it is the highest etiquette of Mongolia "Nine White Great Tribute", plus the crown prince Mengke sent it as a proton, so the general soldier of Datong Guo Deng personally went out of the city to greet him to express the grand specifications and attention of the Ming Dynasty.

After waiting for a long time in the wind and snow, a large number of people and horses finally appeared in the distance, but soon Guo Deng, who had lived in the border pass for a long time, noticed that something was wrong, and the Tatar mission in front was galloping on horseback.

According to common sense, the Tatar mission walked hundreds of miles to the military town of Datong, and was in a stage of fatigue and lack of people. In addition, even if the Tartars don't know how to educate, they still understand the basic envoy etiquette, how can there be a reason to go to the front and gallop on a horse?

As the other party got closer and closer, Guo Deng saw clearly that this group of black shadows was divided into two camps, more than 20 horsemen in front fled for their lives, and hundreds of horsemen in the back were struggling to pursue.

"Array, enemy attack!"

Between the lightning and flint, Guo Deng shouted the slogan of the battle, and the Datong border army has been on the battlefield for a long time and is the elite of the elite of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if he hadn't reacted to what was happening, after hearing Shangguan's enemy attack slogan, he immediately drew out his weapons with a brush, and the Ming cavalry, who were standing aside with their horsepower, turned over their horses and prepared to charge.

"I am the Mongol envoy Temur, the Tile Thorn Department plotted to rebel, robbed and killed the Tatar tribute mission, and hoped that the defenders of the Ming Kingdom would help!"

Temur was able to serve as a tributary envoy, so he naturally had to be proficient in Han culture. Seeing that the Ming Datong defenders were in front of him, he used the most concise and direct language to introduce his identity and current situation, and strive for the opportunity to rescue the tribute mission.

"Wu Yun, lead the troops to meet the enemy and stop the Tile Thorn Tartars!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Deng ordered to the lieutenant general beside him that the Tatar claim to be a vassal is a major matter of the country, and he must not let the tribute mission be destroyed in front of his eyes.

This will not only destroy Shen Yichen's strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, but also damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty in front of the Four Seas Domain.

The tribute envoys can be robbed and killed, who will dare to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in the future?

"The last general commands!"

The sound of the loud military horn sounded, and thousands of Ming cavalrymen held their sabers high and met the pursuers of the tile thorns.

If you say what is the biggest historical change brought by Shen Yichen in the Battle of Tumubao and the subsequent Battle of the Jingshi Guard. In fact, it is not about changing the trend of victory and defeat, and greatly reducing the casualties of defeat.

The real change is morale and people's hearts!

Whether it is the 10th Battalion of the Beijing Division, or the Xuanda Border Army of Liaodong, or even the return to the division to aid the Dunan Expeditionary Army. None of the parties developed weakness and fear of the Mongols after the crushing defeat at Tumubao.

The Ming army Huben always believed that the defeat in the battle of Tumubao was temporary, and the vast northern steppe did not belong to the Mongols.

Da Ming is the master of this world!

Especially when the Tatars chose to bow down, the decline of the defeat was swept away.

Facts have proved that under Putian, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!

An encounter that surprised everyone, while being staged on the border of Datong, the Jingshi Imperial Prison was immersed in the rare warmth of Shen Yichen, but was interrupted by an "uninvited guest" and embraced Chen Qingtong.

Zhu Yi, the eldest son of Chengguo's grandson, didn't know when he appeared outside the cell door, and after seeing the intimacy between Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong, he could only stand outside the door and cough twice to remind him.

Hearing the sound of coughing from behind, the constraints brought by the long-term etiquette education made Chen Qingtong subconsciously push Shen Yichen away, and then glanced back in a panic. After discovering that it was the eldest son Zhu Yi, the shyness in his heart subsided a little, but his cheeks were still crimson.

Compared with Chen Qingtong's nervousness, Shen Yichen seemed very calm, what happened to the hug between husband and wife, and when he had power in the future, he would have to take the rotten Cheng Zhu Lixue sooner or later.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about now, with Zhu Yi's character of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, if he can appear in the edict, he must have something to discuss with him.

"Eldest Prince, you're here."

"Hmm."

Zhu Yi nodded, then looked at Chen Qingtong and said, "Brother and sister, I have something to talk to Xiangbei, can it be convenient?" ”

"Eldest prince, it's important for you to talk about business, I'll go back to the house first."

After saying that, Chen Qingtong bowed to Zhu Yi, then glanced back at Shen Yichen, and left the cell with a reluctant gaze.

"The eldest prince, is it for the affairs of the palace?"

Before Zhu Yi could speak, Shen Yichen asked rhetorically, it seems that the master of Beijing knocked on the noon gate and heard the drum, and the result has already been obtained.

"That's right, Yin Chengjing, the head of the internal official and supervisor, has just conveyed His Majesty's edict to commend the outspoken actions of the Jingshi Shizi, and to pardon you for reinstatement as an innocent official."

Hearing Zhu Yi's words, Shen Yichen didn't have a look of surprise on his face, but instead smiled and said, "It's faster than I imagined." ”

"I want to know, is the strategy of forcing the Empress Dowager to return to power in the dynasty led by you or by Your Majesty?"

With Zhu Yi's talent and ability, when the content of the Empress Dowager's decree was widely disseminated, it was already guessed that someone was pushing behind the scenes. It's just that the follow-up situation is developing, and the speed is theoretically beyond the limit of Shen Yichen's current strength and the layout that can be reached.

Come to think of it, only the current emperor has this ability.

Cheng Guogong chose to stand in line with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, not to say that they trusted Xinjun's ability, but just to uphold the concept of both glory and loss, and went to stand in line with Shen Yichen.

If Zhu Qiyu can show the potential of a qualified king, it is worth betting more chips on him.

"It's a coincidence."

To be honest, Shen Yichen himself was a little surprised at how smoothly the situation was going. He has been with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu from beginning to end, without any consultation and cooperation, completely relying on an inexplicable tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers, to promote the general trend of Beijing.

"It seems that Xinjun is really a hidden dragon......"

Zhu Yi's tone was a little emotional, it was true that the former King of Servants could not see any signs of becoming a Ming Jun.

The imperial power betting station is located in him, no matter how you look at it, you are dancing on the tip of the knife, maybe one day when the emperor returns, with the help of the queen mother, the new monarch will become the abolished emperor in a short period of time.

It can only be said that it is no accident that he can become the king of time, and some people are destined to be emperors.

"However, there is news from the palace that although the Queen Mother is in charge of Your Majesty, she has put forward a request for the Emperor to return to Beijing."

"If nothing else, there will be another incident in the palace soon."

"There are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters in the country, and sooner or later this situation will occur."

Shen Yichen knows very well that in terms of superficial means, he can only hinder Zhu Qizhen from returning to Beijing for a while, but he can't prevent Zhu Qizhen from returning to Beijing for the first time.

Now it depends on whether Canghuo and the others can complete the act of killing the monarch when they go to the border.

It's a foregone conclusion, there is nothing to say, compared to Zhu Qizhen's return to Beijing, now Shen Yichen is more concerned about another matter, and at the same time, he can take advantage of the opportunity to ventilate with Zhu Yi.

"Eldest son, do you think that Zhu Ji's behavior has been a little abnormal in the recent period?"
